Title: Limited penetration shaped charge
Inventor: THOMAS J WUENSCHE
IPC: E21B43/119
Filed: 2017-12-12
Abstract: A shaped charge for use in a well perforating tool includes a jet blocker disposed in an apex of a parabolic or cone-shaped liner. The jet blocker limits the velocity and/or length of a jet that forms upon discharging an explosive in the shaped charge. The jet blocker may include an inert cast-cure type of material such as an epoxy or a flowable plastic that can be readily inserted into an existing shaped charge to fill an external concavity in the liner to any desired height. The height and material selected for the jet blocker determines the degree to which the penetration achieved by the shaped charge is limited, and thus, determines which targeted annulus in the wellbore may be penetrated in operation.

Title: Hyperspectral imaging method
Inventor: DERRYCK TELFORD REID
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 2021-05-06
Abstract: Spectral modulator 102 modulates broadband light from source 101 to provide a plurality of modulated spectra which illuminate sample 105. A detector, e.g. longwave infrared camera 106, collects spectral image data using a combination of bandpass sampling and non-uniform sampling. The sample is imaged by reconstructing spectral image data, perhaps recorded onto a single spectral mask. The detector may have a 3-14 micron wavelength band. A bandpass filter may be located between the light source and modulator, or modulator and detector. The modulated spectra may be calibrated using a characteristic of the bandpass sampling, and optimised using a Fourier-transform or bandpass sampling characteristic of the spectral image data. Non-uniform sampling may involve selecting variable density sampling of points so that spectral image data is sampled at less that 25% of the Nyquist-limited sampling rate. The hyperspectral image may be reconstructed from a Fourier-transform characteristic of the spectral image data.
